Lights are off, the room is still, silence prevails, eyes close shut and slowly the body drifts away. A succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep defines a dream. The mornings where I wake up refreshed yet holding feelings of uncertainty and confusion, yearning for answers and meaning, those are the mornings I know "I had a dream..." Waking up trying to reconnect exactly what happened in my "dreamland", but never really have the whole story straight. I was once told that if you leave a pad of paper on your night stand and the instant you wake write down everything you remember then there is a good chance you can re-iterate your dream verbatim. If not within those first few moments, chances are you will only be able to remember small pieces and eventually the dream is lost forever. Symbols are the language of what we dream, interpreting through the symbols we remember are what will lead to a better understanding along with the hidden meaning, feelings and emotion. I have always been captivated by my dreams, trying to make sense of them in any form I can. Sometimes dissecting every detail on my own or resorting to the dream dictionary through various symbols. Symbols represent something from the unconscious; a feeling, mood, memory, emotion, want or need. Learning to interpret a dream through symbols is powerful and can give a better outlook on your conscious way of life. It is said that even the most minor symbols recollected from a dream can be the most meaningful.
I am always astonished by my dreams when I can connect them with something going on in my conscious state. Its like my mind wanted to give me clues in my unconscious state to help me figure out a current life lesson. Never think too much about a dream, over interpretation will only lead to misguidance and a poor lesson learned. To those who have not had a really good nights sleep, where your mind was taken so deep into your own dreamland that your convinced "it was real" then take my advice... glass of wine or two, xanax, sleeping pill, nyquil or your own personal guilty pleasure that will initiate pure tranquility and just DREAM..........
